The magic is still there.

When you read the logs of things like Vorclaf’s coronation and see us goofing around like idiots, it’s easy to think that we take all this stuff in stride. But that’s not always the case.

When Baron Jeladric died, I think every GM felt a little pang. And while there were one or two jokes cracked afterward, mainly because we can never help ourselves, the overall mood was sad. Some of us got to know him as players. Some of us predate the walking talking Baron. But even the super-old timers know how the players feel about him, and we love our players. I know I have a soft spot for the Therengians, bless their quirky hearts.

It’s been moving to hear the GMs talk about what kind of special gift they should bring, or which NPC would be most appropriate to bring out. Even those of us behind the curtain appreciate a world-defining moment.

I guess I just want to say that even the powers that be will miss Jeladric. Here’s to ya, Baron.

    My condolences to Jeladric’s family behind the curtains. 🙁

    I was on duty when he died. I actually sat there stunned going, “You must be kidding!” I rubbed my eyes, looked again, and he was still dead! He was an amazing guy.

    I actually had a tear or two rolling down my eyes. I know others who were really crying. As a character, Vip takes it hard because he respected the guy to no end. As a player its hard because he was absolutely hilarious. I’ll never forget, “DAMN SOUTHERNERS!” That almost killed me.

    Of course, I won DR today because years after trying to kill Vorclaf, he whispers to me that he is sure I will continue to bring honor to the Theren name.

    I win.
